So after work Sunday, Allie and I decided to get dinner to celebrate our first week of the cleanse. By breaking the rules of the cleanse. Just a little. We went over to Fort Mason and ate at Greens (www.greensrestaurant.com)I have to admit, the concept of eating dairy wouldn't normally seem like a giant luxury, but a few shaved pieces of grana padana on top of a risotto cake with roasted chanterelles were pure heaven. It's amazing how much more satisfying food is when even a little bit of animal product is involved. Greens is rather expensive for vegetarian food, but the service is great, and the food is well worth the price. Additionally, they have a legit wine list and offer half priced wine on Mondays...we'll be back for that post cleanse.
The gratin of squash and corn was the highlight, though the polenta cake was somewhat superfluous. I'm starting to think that eating vegetarian might not be totally crippling. It's the vegan/gluten-free thing that really makes it hard. The addition of a touch of cream or a bit of cheese really do make all the difference in the world. Oh well, two more weeks in the penalty box.
Day 7...leftovers all day, black bean cake tacos for late dinner. That sentence made no sense. I think the lack of animal protein is effecting my ability to function properly. I'm going to sign off, before I embarass myself.
